Adam is a very fresh common sense slap in the face for a lot of political corretors.

I wish Adam was president.

@TheDynastQueen I always felt the "watermelon and fried chicken" thing was really more of a southern stereotype that black people started taking offense to. We ALL fucking love those things down here-- Because they're DELICIOUS. I'd hate to think I'd have to pretend not to like a food because other people expect me to like it. Who the hell CARES?

As a nerd, I know very well that nerd stereotypes DO exist. Go to any comic con or Trek convention, and see how many fat bearded guys with glasses you see. Not everybody, but you will see a LOT.

lmao the watermelon is so not as worse as the thief. When an old white lady clutches her purse when she first sees you, it hurts 1,000x times more than a person offering you a piece of watermelon.

@italoirish888 It is a misconception to say that. But you do make a point, that the line is very blurry. And I am not saying that either one is okay or more valid than the other. I am just saying that one person is more likely to develop a misconception from a single anecdotal experience that he/she has had, whereas stereotypes usually form from a more collective experience (i.e. a characteristic rather than a single event) that many people tend to believe....even if as a whole it is not true

[italoirish888]

@jobiwankanobi uhh....ok. You formed a conclusion without providing any support for it. Is it a stereotype or a misconception to say that "blacks are intellectually infererior". This statement is based on anecdotal evidence. Talk to any southerner in the 1960's and he could give you all kinds of anecdotal evidence of african Americans' lack of intelligence. Yet science has long since concluded this to be largely untrue.

[jobiwankanobi]

@italoirish888 Uhh...okay. ALL of the examples you provided are misconceptions, not stereotypes. Stereotypes are most often associated with characteristics of a group (be they true or not true), rather than being derived from anecdotal accounts (be they true or not true).

stereotypes are fun

I used to share the same sentiments with these guys about Arabs, until I went to some middle-east countries for a few months and I came back a changed man.

Do not believe everything you read and watch in the news, the events that takes place and situations on the news may be reported but that's only skin deep.
